Formatting a text file to get data in exact line by line
I have my data something like this
Code:
    SERIAL FIRSTOCCURRENCE
NETPROTOCOL
1947430693 07/01/2009 05:16:40
FR
 
    SERIAL FIRSTOCCURRENCE
NETPROTOCOL
1947430746 07/01/2009 05:18:05
FR
I want the output as follows.
Code:
SERIAL.......................FIRSTOCCURRENCE.........................NETPROTOCOL
1947430693...................07/01/2009 05:16:40.....................FR
SERIAL.......................FIRSTOCCURRENCE.........................NETPROTOCOL
1947430746...................07/01/2009 05:18:05.....................ATM
i kept .... just for understanding..I don't want that in my final output. I searched this forum for the solution. But didn't get the solution.
Any help will be much appreciated.
